WotLK Help on Gems, please!

[Tsjuder]

Hey guys,
So this is my first Combat Rogue and I’m kinda lost on how I should gem him. Some people told me it’s still way too early to stack ArP with my current stats… they said I should stick to AP in red slots and AP + Hit (or just pure Hit) in yellows. Others told me I already have enough stats to go full ArP and just forget about the rest. I’ve been reading a bunch of guides but honestly they just confuse me even more, since it really depends on what gear you’re rocking at the moment. Don’t wanna screw things up, so I figured I’d just ask you guys directly, since everyone here is always so chill and supportive, KEK.

- Here’s what I’m working with right now (pic attached):

1x Meta

5x Yellow

4x Red

4x Blue



- Stats (unbuffed):

Hit Rating: 449 (13.69%)

ArP: 423 (30.22%)

Crit: 644 (36.46%)

Expertise: 43/43 (10.75%/10.75%, Rating: 275).



Thanks in advance for your time and patience.

Check the "2. Stats" on https://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=332641. Click it open and scroll bit down till you see "a. The way of combat spec:" and "b. So many choises what the fak do I persue"

You're way over the recommended hit and expertise values. Try to replace the items with those stats with more favorable stats (crit/haste/ap/arp) while maintaining recommended hit and expertise values.

You either try to reach soft ArP cap (1400 - 678 = 722 ArP from gear and gems) or forget ArP for now and go for Agility.
